Just 25 Useful Things For Anyone With A Laptop

If you have approximately 300 tabs open right now, this list is for you.

1. A compact sweep and swipe tool that will quickly become your new favorite desk accessory. Use the brush side to sweep away dust and crumbs from your keyboard, then turn it over to use the microfiber pad to swipe away fingerprints from your screen.

2. A USB-C multiport adapter – it packs in a surprising amount of ports for such a slim design. Just plug it into your laptop's USB-C port and you'll now have an extra three standard USB ports, an SD and Micro SD card slot, and an HDMI port so you can connect your laptop to a TV or second monitor!

3. A laptop fan that will stop your laptop from overheating when you have 300 Google Chrome tabs, Spotify, Photoshop, Slack, Outlook, and Excel all open at the same time.

4. A ridiculously helpful sticker featuring all of the Mac OS shortcut combinations so you can stop googling "how to take a screenshot on a Macbook" every single day.

5. A padded laptop sleeve to keep your computer protected from any accidental drops as you commute from your home office to the real office.

6. A surprisingly spacious laptop case that has enough room to also store your chargers, notebooks, and other random office supplies you don't really need but like to carry around just in case.

7. A slim adjustable reading lamp – it connects directly into your laptop's USB port to provide some helpful light when you're working in dark conditions. If your laptop doesn't have a backlit keyboard, this will basically be a game-changer.

8. A privacy screen protector that filters blue light and makes your screen impossible to read from the sides, that way your boss and co-workers can't tell that you've spent all day scrolling through BuzzFeed Shopping lists.

9. A set of arm rest pads so your wrists stay cushioned and comfortable while you respond to another round of pointless emails all afternoon.

10. An easy-to-pair Bluetooth mouse for those intense projects where the touchpad on your laptop just isn't cutting it. The mouse lasts up to 500 hours on a single charge and has a noiseless click so the sound of you rapidly deleting through those pointless emails won't disturb anybody nearby.

11. A perfectly sized set of clamps that can be easily installed on the underside of your desk so you have the perfect place to store your laptop when the work day is finally over.

12. A webcam cover to help ease the paranoia that all your co-workers can still see you even though you hit "end call" and the meeting is definitely over.

13. A super sleek wooden laptop stand that lifts your screen and keyboard to the perfect height and easily disassembles when not in use.

14. A portable screen you can connect to your laptop and easily take from room to room. It might just fill the void left in your heart from when you had to leave your second monitor behind at the office.

22. A squishy, malleable cleaning putty to remove the smallest of dirt from the hardest-to-reach places. It's perfect for your laptop's keyboard, but you'll also find yourself sticking it on your car vents, TV, and anywhere else you've given up hope on properly cleaning.
